We’re looking for a hands-on technical leader who can balance writing code with leading a talented dev team . This isn’t about throwing everything away and starting fresh - it’s about smart evolution : scaling our platform, modernising where it matters, and keeping business needs front and centre.
You’ll own architecture decisions , speed up feature delivery, and take the weight off the CTO’s shoulders - all while helping your team level up.
What You’ll Do
Architect & Innovate

- Gradually introduce modular or microservice structures only when they add real value
- Work with the CTO on strategy while confidently making your own calls
- Build and maintain in PHP/Vue for current services
- Develop new features in Node/Next
- Refactor, review, and maintain clean, consistent code
- Mentor mid-level and senior developers, run 1:1s, and map their growth paths
- Organise workflows, code reviews, and DevOps processes
- Balance urgent tasks with strategic priorities, keeping delivery smooth
- Turn user pain points into smart, technical solutions
- Partner with product managers to prioritise high-impact features
- Release MVPs quickly, gather feedback, and iterate
- Improve CI/CD pipelines and Docker usage
- Implement automated testing and service monitoring
- Make deployments fast, reliable, and drama-free
You’ll Succeed If You Have…
Must-Haves
- 3–5+ years as a team lead, tech lead, or principal engineer
- Hands-on Node.js & major frontend framework experience (React/Vue)
- Proven ability to work with existing PHP codebases (Laravel/legacy)
- CI/CD, basic Docker, automated testing know-how
- Track record of building and developing teams (5–10 people)
- Strong English communication skills (Upper-Intermediate+)
- Kubernetes, Terraform, or advanced DevOps skills
- Experience leading monolith → microservices transitions
